Last year's winner for Best Actor, Jeff Bridges, looks like he could contend again in the same category portraying a role that won John Wayne an Oscar in 1969.

Once again, Oscar season is upon us and the big predicting game of who will actually be nominated to take home the infamous golden guy is consuming everyone in Hollywood. I happen to be one of the few people outside of the Golden State that is as consumed as everyone else inside the state. And after agonizing and panicking and even sacrificing a few small rodents in order to view the future, I have finally cemented my predictions for the nominees for the upcoming Academy Awards. The 10 categories predicted are the ones that will be announced during the nomination announcement on Tuesday, January 25 at 8:30 AM EST.
